The sale is during the tournament that runs from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18 and is available only to all liquor sales licensees. This is due to the time zone differences in game broadcasts with some games televised in the early morning. The closing service time of 2:00 a.m. will remain unchanged.
This year’s tournament is in Qatar which is an eight-hour time difference from Ontario. Some matches can start as early as 5:30 a.m. for the province.
Any municipality is allowed to begin liquor service to remain to start at 9 a.m.
